Biden welcomes brand new senator: "spread your legs..."

quote:Almost immediately after taking her oath of office on Thursday, incoming Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) became the latest victim of a Joe Biden gaffe. While posing for a picture with the vice president, he told her: “Spread your legs, you’re going to be frisked.” Biden appeared to be responding to one of the photographers who asked them to drop their hands to the sides.

quote:This is were I like to remind some of the idiots on this board who said they wouldn't vote for McCain because of Palin.

Palin's problem wasn't that she was constantly putting her foot in her mouth, because she didn't. It was that she was completely ignorant. Biden can name the countries in NAFTA, he knows that Africa is a continent made up of many countries and not just one country and he knows that the Prime Minister is in charge of the U.K. and not the Queen.
